The power of trust 

God's 'love language' is relationship, He absolutely loves the process of developing relationship with us. Jesus’ goal is to mature us to the place where we choose to remain in Him and allow His words to remain in us, so that He can bring us to the place of such connection we can be trusted to ask of Him whatever we wish, and it will be done (John 15:7) 

Jesus' destination for every believer is that this relational bond will be so strong, that we will be so devoted to His interests, purposes, ways, delighting in Him, so aligned to the type of fruit He wants,that He can trust us with the question:-  “What’s on your heart? What do you love? What do you need? "What makes your heart beat faster?" How can I help you succeed? Ask for whatever you wish and it’s yours. *

God is not looking for robots, slaves, or people who suppress desire. Children always communicate desire, and that's who we are, son's and daughters who are invited to ask. We are not servants but sons. NOT just a relationship based upon instructions, but a relationship in which we share our heart with Him too,“This is what I’d love to be, do, see and have”  Expecting God’s greatness, goodness, sovereignty and wisdom to work, to show up.

But He is not the butler of Heaven, a vending machine where we undertake certain disciplines in order to somehow obligate Him to answer. This invitation to ask is founded upon a deep relationship of trust, and confidence in His love and goodness. Yes we have desires, longings, dreams and ideas, yet our asking is flavoured by asking in place surrender, without needing to control God or the outcome.

We mustn't  distort this wonderful invitation to ask into a list of how He has to work things out. Dictating to God our plan and our pace and our timing. We are not His consultants. You cannot control God and tell Him how to work it out, when to work it out, what the outcome has to look like. “God this is what I can do, this is what I can imagine, now you do it just like that” Avoid entitlement, it’s my right, frustration, being offended and judging God, “I would be a better God than you are”

In this place of trust we'll live in the liberty of not limiting God. We’ll discover He won’t be limited by our imagination, His plans are always more wonderful, expansive simply better than anything we could come up with. This week take one step backwards and get a fresh glimpse of how wise, loving and all powerful He really is.

* By trust I am referring to the depth of relationship with God, where He can confidently release us into the dream, knowing that blessing won't crush us. That unique dream that's in your heart is a gift from God. In the place of connection with him He wants to give you courage and capacity to inherit it and steward it well. The best place to start is by asking him for help.
